VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency
exchange and Web 3 company, today announces the appointment of
Gracy Chen as its new Chief
Executive Officer (CEO), effective in May
2024, succeeding Sandra Lou,
who will be leaving the platform to pursue her own business goals.
With over 10 years of experience in business management, marketing,
and investment, Gracy proves herself to be a leading female
entrepreneur in the crypto world.
Since 2014, as a notable TV host, Gracy found herself
increasingly drawn into the dynamic world of blockchain technology,
hence, cryptocurrencies through her interactions with knowledgeable
guests like Tim Draper. Each
interview not only enriched her show but also deepened her
fascination with this emerging field. Her growing passion for the
subject soon evolved to invest in several crypto startups,
including Bitkeep (currently Bitget Wallet), the largest Web 3
multi-chain wallet in Asia.
In June 2022, Gracy joined Bitget
as its first Managing Director (MD), leading Bitget's growth
strategies as the platform accelerates its global expansion plan.
Over the past two years, her exceptional ability to manage and
inspire multinational decentralized teams has been instrumental in
navigating the fast-paced and highly competitive cryptocurrency
landscape. One of her most remarkable achievements was co-leading
the strategy that quadrupled Bitget's user base through
partnerships with legendary footballer Leo
Messi as well as the establishment of a robust global
affiliate network. This solidified Bitget's position as a top-five
crypto exchange and Web 3 platform.
"I'm extremely honored to step into the role of CEO at
Bitget," said Gracy Chen. "Over the
past six years, with the robust foundation we've built and an
incredible team by my side, Bitget has transformed into a leading
crypto platform. By consistently innovating in product offerings
and creating value for our 25 million users, Bitget has risen to
become a top 5 futures trading platform and a top 10 spot trading
platform. I'm thrilled to continue to be part of shaping this
industry that is on the edge of innovation, empowering the future
of digital finance. It's a privilege to lead such a dynamic group
and I can't wait to steer our global expansion to new
heights!"
Gracy is also advocating for a more diverse and inclusive crypto
industry by leading two Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
initiatives at Bitget. She spearheaded the launch of the
#Blockchain4Youth campaign in May
2023, aiming to drive Web 3 adoption by inspiring the
younger generation to embrace crypto and blockchain. The activity
partnered with over 50 educational institutions and benefits over
6,000 young talents in just one year. As a key initiator of
Bitget's #Blockchain4Her initiative, her vision for a
sustainable future involves integrating inclusivity and gender
diversity into the blockchain industry, ensuring females have equal
opportunities and representation in this transformative sector.
Beyond her responsibilities at Bitget, Gracy is proactively
seeking opportunities to contribute to the cryptocurrency field. As
a columnist for major publications such as Forbes and
Cointelegraph, she has published over 50 articles to introduce
blockchain to the public. She is also known as a judge of the first
reality crypto TV show Killer Whales, a program co-created
by Hollywood producers. The show
aims to discover promising Web 3 projects and empower them to make
a real-life impact. Her contributions earned her recognition as a
Global Shaper by the World Economic Forum in 2015, and she was
elected to the Forbes Business Council in 2023.
Gracy holds a Bachelor's Degree from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and an MBA
degree from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT).
